Draw Date and Time Set for Friday
Excitement is building as the CBF has officially announced the date for the draw determining the home-leg matchups for the Copa do Brasil semifinals. The draw will take place this Friday, September 20, at 2 p.m. (Brasília time). You can catch it live on CBF’s YouTube channel, with the event being held at their headquarters in Rio de Janeiro.
Four Powerhouses in the Semis
We’ve got some of the biggest names in Brazilian football battling it out in the semifinals. On one side, Corinthians will face off against Flamengo. On the other, Atlético-MG will take on Vasco. All four teams are no strangers to this stage, as they’ve each lifted the Copa do Brasil trophy at least once before. This year promises another epic showdown as they all eye a place in the final.
Key Dates and Big Stakes
The home-leg games are tentatively set for October 2, with the second legs slated for October 17. The stakes are high—just getting to the final guarantees each team at least R$31.5 million as the runner-up prize. But of course, every club has their eyes on the bigger prize: the Copa do Brasil trophy and the massive R$73.5 million reward for the winner.
Looking Ahead to the Final
With the finals scheduled for November 3 and 10, there’s plenty of drama to come. Whoever makes it through will face two intense matches for the title. It’s all about pride, glory, and a whole lot of money. For the fans, it’s the perfect time to get behind their team and hope for a chance to celebrate a title at the end of the year.
Friday’s draw will set the stage—let’s see who gets the home-field advantage first!
